Anyone know if anyone has outbid ESL/Eddie for the 505 stores as of yet? Also, I assume the deadline is 15th correct?
Was driving customers away always part of Eddie's plan?
He said it straight out. We have all the customers we could possibly want. He refused to update stores. He forced long lines by cutting floors to a single register, then made waits even longer with upselling. Was this deliberate the whole time as a... — read more
I don't see it
Is there any scenario in which Sears would continue to function past next year with even a fraction of stores still up and running? I can't see it. And with our reputation as bad as it is now, for the life of me I can't figure out why anybody would... — read more

Why does Sears supposedly care more about this website on 1171 that's years of godawful reviews on Google and Yelp?

RE: "just curious" posts
What you are doing with these "just curious" posts is so transparent. You are a f*cking company shill or manager trying to push down some embarrassing threads.

Just curious as I did not do ad set this week Is this better than the SYW deals?
Countdown to Closure of ShopYourWay.com
Since the team managing it are all gone and some of our contracts with the website team will expire 12/31 and have not been renewed, I'd guess shopyourway.com will not see 2019 in its present form. Absolutely nobody will notice.

It’s sad there are no tv ads for the “do or die” season this year
I think by not advertising some great deals it is only putting sears/Kmart further back in memory of people I personally am not going to drive 25 miles to the closest Kmart although I miss shopping there. They closed the 4 that were closer to me when... — read more
